Thank you for your suggestions. My Cream is with natural ingredients. I am going to try adjusting emulsifiers. Let you know the results.

I visited this forum last week and felt I should share this information.
Soapnuts are berries of soapnut tree. They contain natural saponin. For ages they have been used for washing hair, clothes, jewellery.
I make natural shampoo with soapnut extract as the main surfactant. I use Decyl Glucoside, Cocobetaine, Gaur gum, Aloe Vera, Glycerine and essential oils as perfume and preservative.
The shampoo has natural nice honey colour, good consistency and shelf life. Those who used my shampoo are satisfied with it’s quality and performance. Inclusion of Aloe Vera and Glycerine makes hair soft and tangle-free. -
To avoid loss of water during emulsification I do the following-
1- note down the weight of the container used for water phase
2- weigh all the ingredients in this container
3- heat the water phase over ten degrees than required temperature for mixing with oil phase
4-add the weight of the container and the ingredients from the water phase in the formula - A
5-tare the balance. Put a folded kitchen towel on the balance ( this is for the hot water phase container), tare the balance to zero, weigh the water phase container with the ingredients.
6- generally the weight is less than the theoretical weight A
7- I add this weight difference + 5% of batch size additional water to make up the water loss during emulsification. It brings down the temperature of the water phase. If it is lower than the required temperature for mixing with oil phase, heat it again. Normally it is not required.
8- also I cover the container by Aluminum foil. -
I have used 6% salicylic acid in petroleum jelly preparation from chemist shop. Salicylic acid is a keratolytic. It worked well. Also use pure glycerine after shower and after soaking feet in warm water at bed time, wear socks. This helps to retain moisture in the skin as glycerine is a humectant. Scrub dead skin with a foot scrubber while taking shower only once in a week.
